Pejačević Castle in Virovitica

The Pejačević Castle features three linear wings with a central hallway, topped by a dome and constructed using late baroque and classical architectural elements.

Count Antun Pejačević initiated the construction of this castle between 1800 and 1804, following designs created by Viennese architect N. Roth.

The castle houses the City Museum, displaying exhibitions about wood's importance in Virovitica through traditional crafts, daily life, and local customs.

The castle underwent extensive renovation from 2016 to 2019 through an European Union program, resulting in modernized facilities and enhanced visitor areas.

Five designer wooden bridges in the surrounding park reference Virovitica's historical nickname 'Little Venice' and provide different perspectives of the castle.
